Domaine Vocoret & Fils, located near the town of Auxerre, is the epitome of a hands-on, family-owned estate. For five generations, the Domaine has been passed down from father to son, with numerous uncles and cousins working at the estate. The strong feeling of dedication and close family relationships has allowed them to adapt throughout the years, each generation applying modern techniques that has promoted innovation in Chablis.
Named after a very small forest located at the top of the vineyards, Les Forêts is considered the best part of Montmains' largest vineyard - it represents 3.7 acres in vineyard production. A wine to enjoy in its youth or keep in your cellar for many years. This wine is aged in tanks and oak barrels, partially new, making the oaky flavor more pronounced than in the "regular" version of the same premier cru from the estate.
It's pale golden-yellow color reveals aromas of fresh apricot, licorice, ginger, and toasted bread, with a hint of exotic flowers emerging as it breathes. Nicely soft and penetrating, offering a clearly tactile mouthfeel with flavors of stone fruit, licorice, and spicy oak. The concentration from the old vines adds a touch of rusticity. You can enjoy this bottle with asparagus, raw vegetables, or fish terrines.
